Humanta is an AI-personalised perks and recognition programme for companies who want to invest in the relationships that drive their business. We reach into your team's personal lives, and beat every voucher, gift card, and points platform doing it.
Companies pour money into perks that vanish the moment they land. Gift cards get spent on petrol. Pizza parties get eye-rolls. Points platforms collect dust. Meanwhile, the one thing people actually want from their employer has nothing to do with a discount code.
They want to feel recognised. Not with a Slack emoji or a templated email, but in a way that reaches into their actual life. The kind of recognition their partner hears about over dinner. The kind that makes someone proud to work where they work.
AI is reshaping every team. Restructures are thinning them out. The companies that win from here aren't just the most efficient. They're the ones where people are genuinely engaged, where retention isn't a spreadsheet problem but a culture one.

AI-powered employee perk and recognition.
The recognition employees actually remember.
What a Spark actually is
A planned experience for the employee and someone they love. Pottery with a partner. Dinner with a parent. A perfume-making class with their closest friend. A glassblowing workshop with a colleague.
AI-matched to who they are
Employees share their preferences. Our AI matches them to real experiences in their city and delivers a curated shortlist with a note on why each one fits.
The manager's personal note
A 30-second prompt to the manager every cycle. We print the note and place it on the table when they arrive with their guest.
Done for you, end to end
Booking, timing, dietary, feedback. Use Sparks for work anniversaries, birthdays, quarterly perks, or spot recognition any time.
Your team already spends money on group events. We make that investment count. Curated group experiences that take the planning, politics, and last-minute scrambling out of the equation.
Why this isn't a gift card
Most recognition tools are transactional. Humanta isn't. Each Spark changes the relationship between the employee and the company through four specific levers.
Managers don't forget recognition. They just don't get prompted to do it.
Sparks include the employee's partner, parent, or close friend.
Cash bonuses get absorbed in 90 days. Memories don't.
Every other recognition tool is a marketplace. Pick one of fifty, redeem, done.
How a Spark works
From cadence setup to the photos coming back. The whole journey, no admin, no chasing.
PEOPLE & CULTURE LEAD · 30 MINUTES, ONCE
Tell us your cadence: work anniversaries, birthdays, quarterly perks, or all three. Set your budget. Share your team's key dates. We take it from there.
THE EMPLOYEE · THE MOMENT ARRIVES
On the day, your employee gets a message from Humanta: their company has set up a Spark for them. They tell us who they are, who they want to share it with, and the kind of experience they're after.
AI-CURATED · NO CHOICE PARALYSIS
We deliver up to eight curated experiences in their city, each with a note on why it fits them. They pick the one that speaks to them. The choice takes minutes, not days.
DONE FOR YOU · END TO END
We book the venue, handle the timing, manage dietary requirements, and print the manager's personal note so it's waiting at the table. The employee just shows up with their guest.
PROOF · QUARTERLY NARRATIVE
After every Spark, we collect sentiment, eNPS-style scoring, and photos. Your People team gets a quarterly one-page narrative. Real signal, not another dashboard.
The payoff
Two minutes every cycle. A team that talks about it for months.
One message. One unforgettable experience.
Set up once. Get measurable signal back.
Replacing a knowledge worker in Australia costs 30 to 150% of salary, depending on seniority and role complexity. SHRM, the Australian HR Institute, and Work Institute all agree the midpoint sits around 75%. That figure is rarely on the P&L because it sits across recruitment, productivity, and team disruption.
For a mid-to-senior knowledge worker on a $120,000 salary, the cost of one prevented departure sits around $90,000 once recruitment, vacancy, and ramp-up costs are accounted for.
Rough numbers based on industry midpoints. During a pilot, we'll build proper modelling using your exact figures, your turnover history, and your team composition.
What Humanta does is set the baseline for your company culture. It is the message that this company invests in its people's lives outside of work, and in the human connections that matter most to them. That's how you build an environment people want to be engaged in, want to stay in, and want to be hired into.
